Hi there,
I have just moved into a new house (5 years old) where it only has a sky dish on the roof and all wiring has been internally cabled at time of build.
In the main room I have a sky cable outlet (where the decoder/receiver sits)
In a cupboard there are 5 RF cables hanging out which go to all bedrooms + kitchen
There is another cable with a BNC type connector looped or connected from the sky dish to a 6th cable which is wired into the main room (where i currently pick up sky)
Now, im wondering how the heck the last ocupants had this all wired up? And how can I distribute TV reception back into all the other rooms.
I was thinking that simply using a splitter box after the decoder would work, but theres no wiring back to the cupboard from the main room.
If you can picture this, how could I connect this up so that i receive signal in all rooms without punching holes in walls.
Thanks in advance

From your description it appears that the 5 wires may only be connected to the tv aerial one being the feed and the other four to other rooms.The extra cable connected to the dish could be for sky+ as it needs two feeds from the dish.In your main viewing room is there a wall plate with the sky connector on it?Has it got several connectors on it as there are some that have sky dish feed,aerial out and one other thats used for a return to a amp for distribution, all in one plate.

There's no TV aerial installed in the house - only a dish.
Im going to trace all cables tonight to see where they go to.
Hi,
Could the sky box have been put in the cupboard,the R.F. output from the box feed into a splitter box (with magic eye by-pass) then off to all the rooms.With the sky box controled by a magic eye on top of each T.V.
If not,could that way work!
